Drake first began watching Serena’s tennis matches in 2011 and even name-checked the champ in a song of his, but it wasn’t until 2015 when they were pictured snogging in a restaurant.

However his scathing verseon The Weeknd hit Tell Your Friends – ‘The ball is in your court/No defence, nobody’s keeping score/No offence but I’ve played this before/Maybe you can but you just don’t care anymore’ – suggested they had split and when he watched her in the US Open semi-final in 2015, a game in which she lost, fans began to consider him a bad luck charm.

Three years on though, Drake is back on Centre Court, and luckily it seems the bad luck has worn off as Serena won; it also probably helps that she has now moved on and is happily married and with a baby girl.
